I have seen an increasing number of reports of GCC failing to build with clang on powerpc (on FreeBSD, though that's probably immaterial).
Turns out that clang has vec_step as a reserved word on powerpc with AltiVec. We OTOH use vec_step s as a variable name in gcc/tree-vect-loop.c. The best approach I can see is to rename vec_step. Before I prepare a patch: what alternate name/spelling would you prefer? Thanks, Gerald
